We've been either out of town, sick, busy, exhausted (or all of the above at the same time) so I'm going to try to get current in a very short (as possible) but sweet post. Right now we're in Disney World and will be back home Sunday so after that the posts will get better. OK let's start with...

Charlotte

Woohoo I heard today I passed my 1 hr diabetes/glucose test and I was SO excited. There really IS a first time for everything. I failed both 1 hrs with Tripp and Jack and barely passed the 3 hr with Jack so was elated to hear my bloodwork turned out normal. My belly is definitely getting bigger and she's getting more active. I can't believe I'm almost in week 29. My how time flies. Kristen, Erin & Gable threw a little party for Charlotte before we left Atlanta and it was so much fun. There's not much when it comes to dressing boys but there's so much stuff for little girls it's almost overwhelming! I had my dr appt before we left this past Monday. Now my uterus is measuring right on target and everything seems to be going well so now I'm just hoping she's going to turn head down at some point. We cannot wait to meet her. It will be so different and exciting having a little girl! When we were in Atlanta Tripp stopped at a Crocs stand in the mall, picked out a pair of purple ones and said, "We have to get these for my Charlotte."

Disney

We returned home Sunday and left early Wednesday for Disney. Tripp's having a lot of fun with his cousins Sadie (7) and Tommy (4). Jack's been enjoying the freedom of walking around everywhere and loves watching the kids play. Orlando had it's first freeze in about a decade last night and since both kids have colds, Jack has an ear infection and Jack and myself have been enjoying pink eye we thought it better not to fight a theme park in the cold weather so we went to downtown Disney today. We ate at Earl of Sandwich (soooo good), went to Once Upon a Toy, rode the train, went to the Lego store, World of Disney, and had a lot of fun. Tripp got a lightsaber and a toolbox Tonka from Once Upon a Toy so all he wanted to do was go home and play the rest of the day and Jack was more than ready to get out of the stroller and run around. Tomorrow we head to Magic Kingdom with everyone and then Saturday we have Breakfast with Mickey and decided we'd go to Magic Kingdom again rather than any of the other theme parks. The kids just aren't really old enough to enjoy the others as much. Here are some pics from the day:

Christmas

We spent Christmas in Atlanta this year. Lots of fun. I tried to rest since I had more help than usual but I'm still exhausted. Tripp's solo stay with Boi and Pop went well. By the time we arrived he was sick...ear infection, pink eye, awful cold, fever. After a FUN visit to the dr and an antibiotic later he's doing better. Then Jack was sick but now better. He's also walking everywhere...will probably be running soon. It's all he wants to do and he's so cute because they're baby steps...literally- maybe a few inches apart. The kids had a great Christmas this year. Polar Express was played over and over (Tripp's request), gumdrop trees were decorated, cookies were eaten, lots of presents were opened, Charlotte had her party, friends were seen, and we had a great time. Tripp's favorite presents were a giant CAT excavator, a golf cart to ride in (as soon as he got the cart and the clubs he said not a word and headed back to Pop's putting green with his clubs...so cute), and his Geotrax (his newest obsession...I even caught him talking about it in his sleep and almost died laughing). Jack loves anything with wheels, the electric steam and water Thomas train set, and of course Geotrax (Tripp's not too happy about that).
Here are a few pics:

And last but not least...my personal fave...
